The Chamber of Codes was no place for experimentation, the Time Chamber another that risked certain containments. The Thought Chamber would likely drive Jane made with the encephalons...unless she was well trained or gifted in Occlumency. "Ideally speaking then ... where would you see as being the best fitted for your needs?"

Jane had of course been thinking about all this ever since her first attempt at speaking with Airey. Or not-Airey, as it turned out. But she hadn't really arrived at a good solution. The Love Chamber had really seemed the best alternative, and it had indeed worked well for creating the elixir born out of the Conjunction phase. But the next stage she wanted to start on really required an atmosphere with minimal stimulation--ideally, with only the thoughts and feelings of the alchemist herself working on it.

The Love Chamber had been proving too distracting, and of the other choices--Jane had contemplated the Thought Chamber, but rejected it because of the presence of all those brains, all those other thoughts. If there were going to be distractions, love was better than a lot of random thoughts. Really, the Death Chamber would be ideal, if only there were a place to work--but right now, the only available surface seemed to be the platform containing the Veil, and that, while it was an atmosphere more conducive to her work right now, was a bit too intense.

"I have been thinking about it, sir, and I haven't come up with a good solution. The Love Chamber had seemed the best alternative, and it worked for a while--it works very well for creating and refining the elixir, but for the next thing I want to work on, it's not quite right." Jane paused for a moment, trying to gauge Flamsteed's reaction to this, and then continued. "The Death Chamber would really be the best place, except that there's no place to work there--and I definitely don't want to try this next phase too close to the Veil."
